2015
IT SAYS YOU’VE ARRIVED. VERY QUICKLY. The all-new RC is a coupe for all coupes, and it will captivate you whether it’s sitting still or powering down a highway. Its long, low profile and sculpted bodylines aggressively slice the air as you’re cradled inside the luxuriously composed cockpit. And with a multitude of amenities, you’ll find beautiful form and thoughtful function from headlight to tail light. Settle in for an exhilarating drive.
EXTERIOR DESIGN RC
AN EXTERIOR BUILT TO DILATE PUPILS.
Outside the RC coupe, body rigidity ensures agile performance while a new headlight design implements the symbolic Lexus L-shaped motif front and rear. A wide stance and low centre of gravity come together thanks to a wider spindle grill, wide bumper corners and front flares as well as a low-set bumper peak. Its striking 10-spoke 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels feature prominent wheel arches that highlight large diameter tires and accentuate the RC’s profile. RC keeps things steady with double wishbone suspension in the front and multi-link suspension in the rear, helped by Aero Stabilizing Fins on the rear bumper corners. The stunning exterior can be boldly enhanced further with the F SPORT package, which includes a unique spindle grille and 19-inch mesh alloy wheels.
RC PERFORMANCE
HAPPY ON THE ROAD, BUT MOST COMFORTABLE IN THE PASSING LANE.
The RC is the truest of coupes: a short wheelbase, a stiff and rigid frame, and over 300 churning horsepower unleashed from a direct-injected 3.5-litre V61 potently guided by a 6-speed sequential transmission (8-speed available on RWD only).
INTERIOR DESIGN RC
It just gets better inside, where an impressive driver-centric cockpit awaits. AN INTERIOR BUILT TO The new Remote Touch Interface employs Intuitive Touch-Sensitive KEEP THEM DILATED. Design using familiar smartphone finger commands to control audio while the navigation system7 can be voice activated. Cabin lighting reflects upwards to bathe the interior with striking illumination. Integrated foaming construction of the seats attaches the upholstery directly to the foam for a snugger, tighter, non-slip seat to ensure optimum occupant comfort and support crucial in a sports coupe.
RC PERFORMANCE
RC F SPORT: ULTIMATE ONLY BEGINS TO DESCRIBE IT. The F SPORT package isn’t just an options package of dynamic upgrades; the RC F SPORT is truly a Lexus transformed.
F SPORT RC
SUSPENSION OF YOUR SUSPENSION BELIEFS The Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) automatically and independently adjusts the performance dampening of all four wheels to deliver maximum agility. In the vehicle’s SPORT+ drive mode, the AVS helps you feel improved body control and precise responses to your steering. An unbelievable ride. F SPORT, UNMISTAKABLY Beyond the exclusive F SPORT mesh design, the aggressive grille undergoes a stunningly unique further evolution. The 19-inch mesh alloy wheels feature machine-finish and dark metallic paint. Command the road with the perforated leather steering wheel and shift knob. The F SPORT’s exclusive and unmistakable Rioja Red or Black anoints the interior, complemented by Silver Performance trim and seats with unique contrast stitching. An 835 watt Mark Levinson® audio system11 delivers incredible sound through 15 ultra high-efficiency speakers.
DYNAMIC HANDLING THAT’S BEYOND DYNAMIC The Lexus Dynamic Handling (LDH) system monitors speed and yaw rate, direction, lateral G, and driver inputs to calculate the optimal angle for all four wheels. With RWD, it integrates Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) and Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS). A powerful team of features that works together to independently manage front and rear steering angles to improve turn-in response, rear grip, vehicle control, and overall agility through turns. LDH can alter rear wheel steering up to 2.0 degrees – at lower speeds, front and rear wheels turn in opposite directions; at higher speeds, they turn in the same direction.
RC POWERTRAIN
FEEL FREE TO HAVE A STARE UNDER THE HOOD.
There’s simply nothing lacking. The dual injection 3.5-litre V61 can pump out a maximum 307 horsepower at 6,400 rpm with a peak torque of 276 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm. For optimal power delivery and fuel economy, this power is wielded precisely at your fingertips with the paddle shift transmission that oversees the responsive 6-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission (8-speed available with RWD).
SAFETY RC
AHEAD, BESIDE, BEHIND: THE RC SEES IT ALL.
The Blind Spot Monitor System8 keeps an eye where yours can’t go. The system’s detection range of vehicles approaching from behind at high speed has been extended, giving you a better view of what’s behind as you power ahead.

Vehicles in this brochure shown with optional equipment. Some features mentioned and/or shown in this brochure may only be available as part of an optional package. Under very cold conditions, the operation of some vehicle electronic systems using liquid crystal technology (such as CD, DVD, NAV and Audio displays) may be adversely affected until a warmer interior vehicle temperature is reached. Lexus reminds you to place small children in CSA-approved car seats – in the rear seats, to always wear your seatbelts, and to drive safely. 1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. 2. Fuel efficiency estimates were determined using approved Government of Canada Test Methods. Actual fuel consumption will vary based on driving habits and other factors. 3. Lane Departure Alert is designed to read the lane markers of certain roads. If the vehicle approaches the outer limits of its lane, the system warns the driver that corrective action may be required. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 4. Do not rely exclusively on the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert System. There are limitations to the function, detection and range of the system. You should also look around outside your vehicle, over your shoulder and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. For a complete list of limitations and directions, please see your Owner’s Manual. 5. The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system. 6. The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. 7. The Navigation System is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest. Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Road system changes may affect the accuracy of the information provided. Rely on your common sense to decide whether to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available for every city or roadway. Periodic updates available at an additional cost. See your Navigation System Owner’s Manual for further details. Navigational systems in some vehicles are available with bilingual capability. 8. Do not rely exclusively on the Blind Spot Monitor System to determine if a lane change is safe. Always look over your shoulder and use your turn signal before changing lanes. There are severe limits to the function, detection range and clarity of the monitor system. For a complete list of limitations and directions regarding use of the monitor system, please see your Owner’s Manual. 9. Dynamic/Radar Cruise Control was designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner’s Manual for important cautions and instructions. 10. The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 11. Mark Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries Inc. 12. All Lexus vehicles shown in this brochure have Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS). For important safety information about the Supplemental Restraint System in a particular vehicle, please see the Owner’s Manual or contact your local Lexus Dealer. 13. Automatic high beam feature can help improve vision at night. However, conditions such as a dirty windshield, rapidly changing light conditions or hilly terrain will limit effectiveness so the driver may need to manually adjust the highbeams from on to off. Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 14. Maximum output indicates engine plus HV battery output. 15. All the airbag (“AB”) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 16. Lane Keep Assist is designed to read the lane markers of certain roads and apply slight torque to the steering wheel to help keep the car in the centre of the lane. If the vehicle approaches the outer limits of its lane, the Lane Departure Warning feature sounds a warning tone and applies slight torque to the steering wheel to notify the driver that corrective action may be required. These features are not a collision-avoidance system and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 17. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and if applicable Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) are electronic systems designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. They are not substitutes for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC and VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 18. Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applications. When engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors including speed, road conditions, driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart Stop Technology is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 19. The Lexus Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 20. Functioning Satellite Radio requires a monthly service fee. Please see your Lexus Dealer for further details. Reception of satellite signal may vary depending on location. 21. Lexus tests certain Bluetooth® capable phones for compatibility with Lexus vehicles. Please see your Lexus Dealer for details. Note that the recommendation of Lexus is not a warranty of the performance for any phone and that some problems may occur with any type of handset based on the phone software version or the service coverage available in your area.
